Raspberry Swirl and Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream - Guide Recipe
Luscious raspberry sauce swirled into vanilla ice cream and mixed with chocolate chunks.
Raspberry swirl and chocolate chunk ice cream! OH MY!!! It’s as good as it sounds. For some reason I am stuck on raspberries and chocolate. Just imagine this ice cream with Raspberry Brownies!
For this ice cream , I started with the same basic custard that I used in my Old Fashioned Peach Ice Cream. Fresh raspberries were mixed with some sugar and left to macerate for a couple of hours. Because I didn’t want all those seeds in my ice cream , I strained the berries and juice through a fine meshed sieve.
I debated adding this directly to the ice cream maker , but decided against it. Instead , I completely churned the ice cream. Then I put half of the ice cream in a dish and added half of the strained berries on top and sprinkled with chocolate. The rest of the ice cream went on top , then berries , and chocolate.
The ice cream is quite soft when it comes out of the mixer. Once I layered all the ingredients , I carefully took a butter knife and just lightly made swirls through the mixture. I was very careful to not over mix. I popped it in the freezer and waited and waited and waited. I tell ya , the toughest part is the waiting! You can eat it right away and I always sample , but I really love it when it has set up and is firm.
